"Its transmission cannot be studied using the germ theory of disease."
Explanation: Asbestosis is a noninfectious, occupational/environmental lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. It is not caused by microbes and is not transmitted person-to-person, so germ theory (which explains diseases caused by infectious agents) does not apply.
